Join Sarah Noll Wilson and guest Dr. Julie Ressler as they explore the imposter phenomenon in men. Topics including the impacts of family, gender, and culture, and how leaders can make a difference by embracing recognition and open conversations. About Our Guest Dr. Julie Ressler decided early on, around the age of 9, that she wanted to be a teacher, however exactly what kind of a teacher wasn't established until later in life. Growing up in northeast Iowa, her passion for education and helping people grow and learn was influenced by her parent's chosen professions of high school teacher and business owner. Observing these two amazing role models encouraged her to pursue a career as a teacher of adults-which in her words are “little kids” in bigger bodies. Over the past thirty years, she has been a proud member of the Des Moines community working in banking and insurance in various corporate training roles. She is currently the AVP-Insurance Operations Training at Athene USA, where she leads a talented team of performance improvement professionals. She earned a B.S. from Iowa State University and a master's degree from Drake University, both in adult education. She's certified in Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Prosci Change Management. Julie completed her doctorate degree in educational leadership from Drake University, May of 2024. Her greatest accomplishments include raising two daughters and a son. Lauren (29) is a school psychologist with the Juneau, Alaska school district, Madelyn (27), a graphic designer at Athene in Des Moines, and her 22-year-old son, CJ served as an Army Ranger and is currently pursuing a degree to serve as an anesthesia nurse practitioner.

Can you think of occasions where you wanted to say something, but couldn't? Perhaps you stopped yourself out of fear, or due to outside pressures. Having a seat at the table doesn't necessarily mean that your voice is welcome. A new book is aiming to examine the influence of silence and offer ways that we can begin to dismantle it to find our voices at home and work to shift the paradigm. In Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully author Elaine Lin Hering explores the difficulty that can come with speaking up, especially when there may be incentives to stay silent to avoid unwanted consequences. Hering discusses how we as a society have learned to be silent, how we have benefited from silence, and how we have silenced other people. She also offers advice on how we can choose another way, creating new patterns, becoming more complete versions of ourselves, engaging more fully with our talents, and helping others do the same. Elaine Lin Hering is a facilitator, speaker, and writer. She works with organizations and individuals to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her career, Elaine has worked on six continents and with a wide range of corporate, government, and nonprofit clients. She has trained mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Capital One, Google, Nike, Novartis, Shell, Pixar, and the Red Cross. Elaine is a former Managing Partner of Triad Consulting Group and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, specializing in dispute resolution, mediation, and negotiation.

What does equity really mean? That might be an impossible question to answer objectively, but in this encore episode Ruchika Tulshyan, a workplace inclusion expert, and Ijeoma Oluo, a thought leader on race in America, discuss the subtle and overt ways white supremacy and anti-Blackness impact our experiences at work. GUESTS: Ruchika Tulshyan – Inclusion strategist, speaker and author of the bestseller Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work. Ijeoma Oluo – Speaker and writer, author of the New York Times bestseller, So You Want to Talk About Race.

“There was not a moment that I came into the workplace and thought that I would belong or be treated properly or equally.” Ruchika Tulshyan, a workplace inclusion expert, paraphrases an interview with Ijeoma Oluo, a thought leader on race in America, for Tulshyan's book, Inclusion on Purpose. In the conversation featured in this episode, these two women talk about Ruchika's misassumptions about race and gender in the workplace in her first book, and the intersection of race and gender as it differently and more severely impacts women of color. They discuss the immigrant experience, the subtle and overt ways immigrants and non-Black people of color are encouraged to hold up white supremacy and propagate anti-Blackness, and how we work to dismantle these and build workplaces where women of color feel safe, respected, and supported.

My take on Imposter Syndrome. Go gently into this work. "We experience shame not only through personal invalidation, but also from a culture that devalues our identity. Underneath all of this is always a history of trauma. We have so many wounded among us who carry a great deal of shame. While the initial escape from abusive organizations and individuals often brings respite, unless we acknowledge our shame, we often remain controlled by it. What happens on the individual level is therefore expressed in our communities as a whole. We need to confront shame at both these levels. Shame keeps us silent. We fear that everyone will think we're idiots or crazy if we speak up. No one will believe us. That's shame talking. Shame is a specific type of fear that's related to having our sense of self violated by others. But this fear is also spread through societal views of what's acceptable. Think of shame as a disease-infected tree that is weighed down with a variety of rotting fruit. In the garden of your life, this tree draws out all your energy and keeps you from nourishing anything beautiful." - from Entering Hekate's Cave (Chapter 10 - Borborophorba).

Danna Greenberg: Maternal Optimism Danna Greenberg is the Walter H. Carpenter Professor of Organizational Behavior at Babson College. Her main area of research focuses on understanding the intersection between individuals' work and non-work lives as they move through their career. Her scholarship is guided by the belief that individuals can and should be able to live full lives at work and at home and that by challenging current assumptions regarding work we can find better ways for businesses, families, and communities to thrive. Her other research stream centers on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Here she is focused on the continued changing landscape of higher education as it pertains to how we teach, what we teach, and how to define the lives of academics. Danna has published more than 30 articles and book chapters in leading journals including Academy of Management Journal, Human Resource Management, and Academy of Management Learning and Education. She is the co-author with Jamie Ladge of Maternal Optimism: Forging Positive Paths Through Work and Motherhood*. When women return to work after a baby, there's a lot our society implies about how that's supposed to look. Danna's research finds that this can look very different for every family. On this episode, a few things that women, their partners, and their managers can do to support a better transition in returning to work. Key Points Over 70% of mothers in the United States return to work after having children. There tends to be a “guilt and anguish” script in the popular media about women returning to work after a maternity leave. That's absolutely true for some women (especially those with fewer resources) but other women have very different experiences. Managers can help by opening dialogue about what's ideal to support a woman and her family during and after maternity leave. Comments like “I am so impressed by how you are going to do it all!” are often well-intended but can reinforce views that might not be true for a woman or her family. Focus praise at work on work, not parenting. Men may be more likely to listen to the challenges working mother face when other men surface them. Male managers can take the lead on this. During leave, mothers can help create a foundation of shared parenting (if that's their choice) by engaging their partners in substantial ways in childcare and limit gatekeeping.

Our guest on this one is a repeater - her episode was the 4th most downloaded all-time at the time of publishing this (episode 88 - on personal branding)! She knows her stuff and is an absolute delight. There is nuance in how we approach opposing views online. How we approach it with our marketing is even more nuanced. "I think the biggest thing right now is we're in a really crazy space that we've never been in before, with everyone having access to so much information, so much misinformation, so much disinformation, that it is really, really hard for marketers to accurately and effectively not just target the group they want to speak to, but reach and break through." We get pretty deep about how marketers should look at inclusive strategy & language, authenticity, and awareness.

Did you know that a staggering 90% of people have a negativity bias towards women (UN report). But what does this really mean? Ruchika Tulshyan explains it perfectly: "The same systems that reward confidence in male leaders, even if they're incompetent, punish white women for lacking confidence, women of colour for showing too much of it, and all women for demonstrating it in a way that's deemed unacceptable."The problem isn't that women aren't confident but that confidence in women is not rewarded in the world.Listen to this bonus episode from a recent LinkedIn Live event we joined with The Female Lead with Edwina Dunn OBE, Founder of The Female Lead.Tune in as we discuss why “You Don't Have Imposter Syndrome”!

Do you ever second guess your accomplishments, skills and abilities and feel like you will be discovered? Do you experience feelings of being a fraud or non-deserving of a promotion or that higher level title? You are not alone!

Having empathy doesn't mean you don't hold people accountable. You can hold people accountable and do it with generosity and empathy. Be curious and ask questions instead of making assumptions. It's okay not to know everything. If you have a learner mindset, you have permission to say I don't know and fail. Why We Need More Learners Instead of Knowers in the Workplace. Question what you think you know. How Social Accountability Creates Culture Change. Emotional intelligence in the workplace. Create an environment where others feel heard. Hold each other accountable with generosity and empathy. Checking your default and self-interrogate to understand why you do things and what aligns with your aspirational self.

Kendra Kelly wryly refers to it as “her old friend.”She's an accomplished junior executive with years of marketing experience. She served as a field organizer for the Obama presidential campaign. She led WashU Olin's graduate student body as its president and was elected its graduation speaker.Yet a year after joining L'Oréal, where she serves as chief of staff for the president of the luxury division, she's only just beginning to understand how to deal with her old friend—an unwelcome visitor otherwise known as “imposter syndrome.”In a recent piece in the Harvard Business Review, authors Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey write of the phenomenon as “a workplace-induced trauma” induced by the repeated confrontation of systemic racism and bias. They argue that addressing imposter syndrome should be less about “fixing women at work” and more about fixing the places where women work.And yet, a year after earning her MBA, in the wake of her mother's passing, in the shadow of the isolation of learning and working remotely during the pandemic, the challenges posed by her “old friend” persist. She found herself occasionally gripped by self-doubt in her company's fast-paced work culture—while she must step back, slow down and meticulously break down business problems.“Your brain is not your friend,” Kelly said. “I was not myself. It was starting to weigh on me. And I realized this was not OK.”How did Kelly come to realize her old friend was knocking on the door? How did it affect her at work? How did she come to confront it? And how is she learning to deal with it? And what, more broadly, should workplaces do to banish this “old friend” from their hallways, offices and conference rooms?Kelly's story is emblematic of the oft-stated importance of bringing one's whole self into the workplace—knowing what it means and knowing how that principle can contribute to the organization and support the individual. In Kelly's case, for example, she came to learn her meticulous approach to work was a valued skill—different, but necessary. “I have found it to be a skill,” she said, “to take the thing we've all been swirling around and name it.”More than that, she's learning how to cope with her old friend. “This is not something I need to get over,” she said, “but learn to live with and thrive with.”RELATED LINKSWorkplace-induced trauma.

Sally Helgesen: Rising Together Sally Helgesen has been cited by Forbes as the world's premier expert on women's leadership. She is a best-selling author, speaker and leadership coach. She has been named by Thinkers50 as one of the world's top 20 coaches and ranked number 6 among the world's thought leaders by Global Gurus. She is the author of several books, including The Female Advantage: Women's Ways of Leadership and The Female Vision: Women's Real Power at Work. Her book The Web of Inclusion: A New Architecture for Building Great Organizations, was cited in The Wall Street Journal as one of the best books on leadership of all time and is credited with bringing the language of inclusion into business. She co-authored How Women Rise, with executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, examining the behaviors most likely to get in the way of successful women. Her newest book is Rising Together: How We Can Bridge Divides and Create a More Inclusive Workplace*. When we get triggered, our default response tends to be either venting about it to others or suffering in silence. In this conversation, Sally and I explore how to respond in a more useful way. She invites us to consider being less invested in our initial response, creating an alternative script, and finding a path forward to influence different behavior. Key Points When we get triggered, our tendency is to either vent about it or suffer in silence. Being overly invested in our first response limits our ability to respond better. This is the authenticity trap. Create an alternative, positive script that helps your own mental well-being and precipitates a more helpful action. Whether the alternative script is true or not isn't the point. The aim is to find the line between not humiliating the other party and also not letting a poor behavior be unaddressed. Wisdom from Sun Tzu: indirection or redirection to disarm an opponent is preferable to the direct engagement of combat.

Her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Time and Bloomberg, among other publications. Ruchika has most recently been a guest of Brene Brown's and contributed to BigThink. Diversity is key to a company's success and bottom line– and yet women are leaving the workforce in higher numbers than ever before. That's one of many reasons this conversation is so important. In this episode, we'll discuss the difference in personality and behavior that takes place before and after the ego is developed. We also talk about ways society has trained us to rely solely on other's expectations (minute 11), and how to break the mentality.

Ruchika Tulshyan is the author of Inclusion on Purpose and The Diversity Advantage. She is also the founder of Candour, a company that supports inclusion strategies in the workplace. Ruchika describes her personal journey that led to her focus on inclusion and how the biggest barrier is not recognizing your own role in changing inclusion. In particular, how our stories of working hard get in the way of seeing our privilege. Ruchika provides several helpful frameworks to embrace the discomfort of addressing inclusion and making a difference. You can find your free guides to burnout at www.DrJacquelineKerr.com/free-guides
There's no denying it: Work relationships can be hard. The stress of dealing with difficult people can dampen creativity and productivity, degrade the ability to think clearly and make sound decisions, and cause people to disengage. We might lie awake at night worrying, withdraw from work, or react in ways we later regret — rolling our eyes in a meeting, snapping at colleagues, or staying silent when we should speak up. Too often we grin and bear it as if we have no choice. But people can only endure so much thoughtless, irrational, or malicious behavior. In Getting Along, workplace expert and Harvard Business Review podcast host Amy Gallo identifies eight familiar types of difficult coworkers: the insecure boss; the passive-aggressive peer; the know-it-all; the biased coworker; and others — and provides strategies tailored to dealing constructively with each one. She also shares principles that will help you turn things around, no matter who you're at odds with. Taking the high road isn't easy, but Gallo offers a crucial perspective on how work relationships really matter, as well as the compassion, encouragement, and tools you need to prevail on your terms. Through relatable, sometimes cringe-worthy examples and the latest behavioral science research, Gallo offers practical advice for navigating your toughest relationships at work — and building interpersonal resilience in the process. Amy Gallo is a contributing editor at Harvard Business Review, where she writes about workplace dynamics. She is the author of the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict and cohosts HBR's Women at Work podcast. As a speaker and workshop facilitator, Gallo has helped thousands of leaders deal with conflict more effectively and navigate complicated workplace dynamics.

Julie and Casey chat with Ruchika Tulshyan (author, speaker, and founder of Candour) about her viral HBR article on imposter syndrome, how to handle feedback (giving it and receiving it), and the gift of discomfort. Along the way, we dive into some of our favorite big subjects (authenticity, executive presence, etc.) and why the most important question to ask is: “for whom?” Thank you to our Season 4 sponsor, Armoire!

TOP TAKEAWAYS: What do you do with conflicting feedback (the “Goldilocks” problem — “you're too strong / you're not strong enough” etc)? Feel your feelings, investigate it, think about it, check in with your tribe . . . and then remember that you're existing within biased systems, and you can still stand in your power. When it comes to the “big subjects” like authenticity, leadership, executive presence, the operative question is “for whom?” i.e, “For whom is this the “right” kind of authenticity?” The foundation of so much discomfort is coming to terms with the fact that the world is not binary – that two things can be true at the same time (“I have experience marginalization AND I have privilege” or “my intentions were good AND I caused harm to another person”). We first have to learn to live with that complexity, and then additionally we have to learn how to communicate it. LESSON: Discomfort and confidence can (and probably will) exist at the same time. And . . . what if a little imposter syndrome is a good thing? Ruchika Tulshyan is the best-selling author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work (MIT Press).

How did we become so deeply divided? In 2019, hate crimes reached a ten-year high in the United States. In 2020, 40% of each political party deemed supporters of the opposing party “downright evil.” In addition to division across political lines, rampant discord is likewise rooted in other hot-button issues like race, religion, gender, and class. Despite one in five Americans suffering from chronic loneliness, it seems that we are collectively determined to distance ourselves from those who aren't like us. But what if there were a set of scientifically grounded techniques that could help us overcome our differences, create empathy, and forge lasting connections? That's where Stanford University professor Geoffrey Cohen comes in. In his book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, Cohen examines the issues that poison our communal existence and undermine our sense of belonging, and offers solutions to help us establish connections using even the smallest of gestures. Even skeptics can appreciate these research-based practices, which have been shown to lessen political polarization, improve motivation and performance in school and work, combat racism, and enhance health and well-being. Cohen's work may be helpful for parents, educators, managers, or anyone else who wants to foster harmonious interpersonal relationships and healthier environments. Belonging reminds us that our personal need to belong is mirrored in other people. Geoffrey L. Cohen is professor of psychology and the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University. Prof. Cohen's research examines processes that shape people's sense of belonging and self and implications for social problems. He studies the big and small threats to belonging and self-integrity that people encounter in school, work, and health care settings, and strategies to create more inclusive spaces for people from all walks of life. He has long been inspired by Kurt Lewin's quip, “The best way to try to understand something is to try to change it.” He lives in Palo Alto, California.

She advocates passionately for representation in the industry for South Asian women, but more broadly, aims to be a voice for all people who may face barriers in the wellness. We had an amazing conversation with Vysh about how she shifted her own understanding of health & diet culture, and how that has shifted the way she works with clients; the importance of safe inclusive fitness spaces, how she cultivates those spaces, and how the fitness world can do better; how having safe, trauma-informed, inclusive spaces helps build body autonomy; how she's working to create a place at the table for herself & her community; and the link between representation and overcoming impostor syndrome.Here's where you can find Vysh:WebsiteInstagramFacebookLinkedInYou can stay up to date on all things Satisfaction Factor by following us on IG @satisfactionfactorpod!Here's where to find us:Sadie Simpson: www.sadiesimpson.com or IG @sadiemsimpsonNaomi Katz: www.happyshapes.co or IG @happyshapesnaomiFor this episode's transcript, visit: www.satisfactionfactorpod.comReferenced in this episode:Vysh's published article for CanFitProVysh's IG post about imposter syndromeHarvard Business Review - "Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome" by Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey
Julien and Ruchika Tulshyan discuss their shared experience of being third-culture kids and how that relates to the importance of cultural humility in the workplace. Adults and children who qualify as third-culture have a unique and sometimes incomplete experience of cultural identity formation. While they might struggle with feeling a sense of true belonging in whichever of their home cultures they're in, they are often incredibly adept at building bridges across difference and demonstrating the kind of cultural humility that is required of inclusive leaders. DE&I initiatives and programs are now more geared than ever towards building a true sense of belonging for employees—cultural humility plays a role in achieving this elusive but critical human experience. We're excited to welcome to the show Ruchika Tulshyan, the author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work (MIT Press). She's also the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy practice. A former international business journalist, Ruchika is a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review. Ruchika co-wrote a paradigm-shifting article, Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome for Harvard Business Review, with Jodi-Ann Burey. The article has over a million views, has been translated into multiple languages and is one of HBR.org's top most 100 read articles in history, as well as the top 3 articles for the publication in 2021. Best of all, people all over the world have said it helped change their relationship with the concept of imposter syndrome! Today we discuss: The perspective and power of third-culture kids. Why cultural humility is far more effective than cultural competence. “Measuring” cultural humility and the individual leadership behaviors that can move the needle on more humble organizational cultures.

Ruchika Tulshyan: Inclusion on Purpose Ruchika Tulshyan is the founder of Candour, a global inclusion strategy firm. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review. As a keynote speaker, Ruchika has addressed organizations like NASA, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United States Congress. Ruchika is the author of The Diversity Advantage: Fixing Gender Inequality in the Workplace, and most recently, Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work*. She is on the Thinkers50 Radar list and named as one of Hive Learning's Most Influential D&I Professionals for the past two years. In this conversation, Ruchika and I discuss how leaders can adapt their hiring practices to attract more diverse candidates — and ultimately support inclusion inside their organizations. We discuss the importance of what to both include and avoid in job postings. Plus, we examine how well-intended interview practices can sometimes have unintended results on supporting diversity and inclusion. Key Points Make the hiring process transparent from start to finish. Include an authentic equal opportunity statement. Refrain from using certain words in job listings. Examples include: rockstar, ninja, hacker, guru, manage, build, aggressive, fearless, independent, analytic, and assertive. Emphasize skills and experience over professional degrees. Avoid panel interviews and refrain from asking questions or having conversations about culture fit.

What are the systems and societal norms getting in the way of women achieving economic mobility? How do we call out and dismantle those systems? In this episode we talk to Ruchika Tulshyan, author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work (MIT Press). She's also the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy practice. A former international business journalist, Ruchika is now a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review on workplace equity and inclusion.

Best of all, people all over the world have said it helped them stop blaming themselves for supposed imposter syndrome. Ruchika is on the Thinkers50 Radar list, and LinkedIn's 2022 Top Voices on Gender Equality, and was recently awarded the Jeanette Williams Award by Seattle Women's Commission for her significant contribution and leadership in advancing women in the region.

When we spend most of our time trying to prove our worth, our proving shifts to looking for safety and validation from external sources and delegates our worth to others.When we engage in this kind of proving, we end up in what I call the “not enough” loop.The not enough loop is rooted in the belief that if you can change or fix yourself based on these external metrics–the standard of enough–you'll get relief and feel more secure and capable.But it only deepens our feelings of insecurity, comparison, and scarcity, which loops back to looking outside ourselves for validation. The not enough loop counts on us to externalize our worthiness.When we fall into the not enough loop in our work, we often hear blanket labels like “imposter syndrome” that place responsibility on the individual and shut down conversations about the biases and pressures that make imposter syndrome and the not enough loop so much more prevalent for anyone who doesn't identify as a straight, white, cis male.My guest today has been through the grind of toxic environments, gender biases, and all of the things that can feed the not enough loop.Wendy Collie is a former Fortune 200 executive with a passion for triple bottom line organizations who are customer-focused while having employee-oriented philosophies as a cornerstone for transformative, sustainable, and profitable growth.Wendy believes that organizations have a responsibility to improve the lives of their customers, employees, and their communities, and that success is measured by both stakeholders and shareholders, no matter the size of the company.Listen to the full episode to hear:What happened when Wendy was struggling to prove herself on all frontsWhy living her values meant stepping away from a job she lovedHow Wendy evaluated the deep roots of her need to prove herself, and decoupled her identity from her titleWhy Wendy believes in intentionally crafting company culture and how that impacts hiring and management practicesHow Wendy reframes proving and perfectionism in her work nowLearn more about Wendy Collie:WendyCollie.comConnect with Wendy on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome, Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann BureyThe 5 Biases Pushing Women Out of STEM, Joan C.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. We had the honor of speaking with Ruchika Tulshyan about her expertise on promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Not only is Ruchika an award-winning inclusion strategist and speaker, but she is also the CEO and founder of Candour, which works with organizations to create diverse teams and inclusive cultures. A former business journalist, she has reported from four countries and writes regularly on inclusive leadership for the Harvard Business Review. She was named to the Thinkers50 list, a global ranking described by the Financial Times as “the Oscars of management thinking.” THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… workplace leaders who are looking to promote an equitable workplace environment and foster a culture of diversity & inclusion. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Many people carry good intentions to create diverse and inclusive workplaces, so why do so many workers still feel excluded? By exploring the intersectionality of our identities, we can begin to see how gender, race, sexuality, and other aspects of identity should be considered holistically for individuals in the workplace. By implementing best workplace practices and actively practicing awareness, we can grow organizations purposefully to build diversity and inclusion. WHAT I LOVE MOST… Ruchika reminds us to consider our own privileges and how our experiences might be different from someone else's experience. She also reminds us that it's okay to make mistakes in diversity practices, so long as we learn from them and do better next time.

"Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white guy". This was a tactic we heard in our https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-the-patriarchy-makes-you-feel-like-an-imposter/id1391206534?i=1000416486363 (Season 1 episode on Imposter Syndrome). If you haven't yet, give this episode a listen. It's our most downloaded episode, and the topic we are asked to speak the most about. For a while, it's felt as though lots of us couldn't get enough tactics to battle imposter syndrome within ourselves. Then, our friends and all-around geniuses Jodi-Ann Burey and Ruchika Tulshyan co-wrote https://hbr.org/2021/02/stop-telling-women-they-have-imposter-syndrome (Stop Telling Women They Have imposter Syndrome), for the Harvard Business Review, followed by https://hbr.org/2021/07/end-imposter-syndrome-in-your-workplace (End Imposter Syndrome In Your Workplace) (chock-full of tactics, btw!). And it got us thinking: Are we still cool with what we said about imposter syndrome in that old episode? That it is truly an individual issue we must each overcome, rather than a red flag about bigger, systemic biases and obstacles? So we asked Jodi-Ann to listen to that old episode, poke holes in it, and tell us why she thinks imposter syndrome is bulls**t. Which is exactly what she did - in a delightful, hilarious, thought-provoking way. GUEST: https://jodiannburey.com/ (Jodi-Ann Burey) is a disruptor, thinker, and writer - and her https://www.ted.com/talks/jodi_ann_burey_the_myth_of_bringing_your_full_authentic_self_to_work (TEDx Seattle Talk on authenticity at work) has been viewed more than a million times.
